DESCRIPTION:Pushing Data Uphill:Overcoming Barriers to Large-scale Biomedical Data Usewith Eric Perakslis, PhDMonday, April 9, 20182:00 PM – 3:00 PM EDTDr. Erik Perakslis, PhD, will discuss challenges to realizing the rich promise of collaborative data science, and strategies to overcome them.Over the past decade, great progress has been made in collaborative data science. To the benefit of scientists with large datasets that could be leveraged for research and discovery, open source platforms such as i2b2 and tranSMART have flourished and are providing low-cost entry into previously complex biomedical data use cases. However, challenges of cost, access, completeness, interoperability, security and privacy are still daunting.In this presentation, Dr. Perakslis will review current technologies and methodologies for building effective bioinformatics platforms; he will share best practices for overcoming the challenges listed above, with tips and lessons learned from his experience; and he will highlight opportunities for brave new approaches to overcome current technological barriers and compliance issues. https://allergen-nce.ca/events/allergen-webinars/#perakslis

DESCRIPTION:Guest Speaker: Dr. Anne EllisThe guest for our first Speaker Series Webinar is Dr. Anne Ellis.Dr. Anne K. Ellis is a Professor in the Department of Medicine with a cross-appointment to the Department of Biomedical and Molecular Sciences at Queen’s University. Her position is one of a Clinician Scientist with 70% protected time for research.Paradoxes of Asthma Management Despite advancements in asthma treatment, asthma rates have not decreased. There exists a disconnect between feeling that one is in control of their asthma and the actual severity of the symptoms currently experienced as measured by objective tests. Many people living with asthma actually think their asthma is under control when, in reality, it is not! Additionally, the over-reliance on blue reliever inhalers to provide quick relief of asthma symptoms rather than the long-term prevention provided by controllers is a paradox in asthma management that needs to be addressed.What You'll Takeaway:How do the paradoxes of asthma management affect you?What do you need to know about effective asthma management?Why is your asthma controller so important?How is asthma currently being treated in Canada?Our webinar includes a Question & Answer session with the guest speaker, giving you the opportunity to ask your most pressing questions to one of Canada's leaders in allergy research.

What constitutes scholarship, as opposed to professional activities? How can you leverage your scholarship to contribute to the larger academic community? How do you ensure that the outcomes of your scholarship are disseminated to the widest audience? How do you write strong conference abstracts, or determine which conferences are best suited to your current project? How do you ensure that you are submitting an article to a reputable journal? How do you recognize predatory journals? What are the benefits of open access publications? These are some of the questions that we will be discussing in this webinar. https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/7704811628178524161

DESCRIPTION:Every child deserves to live a healthy and happy life. This is why we are asking for your participation and support for the ‘Walk for Andrea – Curing Food Allergies Together 2018.’Currently strict avoidance of the allergenic food is the only way to avoid an allergic reaction. But, strict avoidance is not always possible. We need to help people cope with the effects of living with severe food allergies such as exclusion, isolation and stress. We need to find a cure.The Annual Walk for Andrea will be taking place on Sunday, September 30th, 2018 on the picturesque grounds of Milne Dam Conservation Park and Trail and you are invited! https://walkforandrea.ca/
